I Can Strengthen Infinitely-Chapter 93 - 84: Returning Home (Part 2)

Clearly, it was just a slash to the chest of a humanoid Fox Demon, but its entire body disintegrated in an instant; it was quite odd.

Moreover, Bai Hao observed an unusual aspect, which was that Qin Yuesheng’s stamina seemed overly abundant. From his initial roar in battle to now, the ground was piled with hundreds of Fox Demon corpses, yet he showed no sign of fatigue, as if he became more spirited with the fight.

Watching this, Bai Hao secretly nodded; this child must have exceptional talent.

With Bai Hao joining the battle, all Fox Demons at this location were soon completely slain, while the remaining living dead had their arms and legs removed. Bai Hao wanted to spare their lives to see if they could be saved.

"Lord Bai." Having killed the last Fox Demon, Qin Yuesheng sheathed his blade and approached Bai Hao, saying.

"You’ve done well this time. What about the others, have you seen Zhao Zijin and Huo Bang?"

Qin Yuesheng shook his head regretfully, "I didn’t see Huo Bang, but Zhao Zijin is already dead. Both of us accidentally fell into a Fox Demon’s illusion technique, which led to her demise."

Bai Hao sighed, "Ah, this time the losses are significant. Fang Tong also died. When we return, I’ll have Xun Sheng issue compensation to their families as recompense."

Qin Yuesheng felt somewhat helpless, "My lord, leaving this Cyan Yang City now isn’t easy. There’s a ghost wall surrounding the villa; I tried, but simply couldn’t break through."

"There’s such a thing?" Bai Hao was surprised.

With high skill and courage, and the goals of rescuing his apprentice and eliminating Master Huang Si, naturally, he didn’t entertain thoughts of fleeing this place after being separated from the others, hence he was unaware of the circumstances surrounding the villa.

"Then let’s thoroughly search this place once again; Huo Bang’s fate is still unknown. We must find him, dead or alive." Bai Hao spoke decisively.

Qin Yuesheng had no objections, but something was on his mind.

"Lord Bai, is Master Huang Si’s corpse still in this courtyard?"

"Indeed."

"Could I take the corpse away?" Qin Yuesheng asked.

Bai Hao chuckled, "If you want it, go ahead."

He was quite generous; Master Huang Si, whose strength matched Bai Hao’s, was definitely worth a lot of negative energy. Qin Yuesheng happily ran into the courtyard, soon bringing out Master Huang Si’s body, which was as large as a horse.

This thing probably weighed around twelve to thirteen hundred pounds; ordinary people wouldn’t even attempt to lift it without a group of eight or nine, but for Qin Yuesheng with a strength of 25.0, twelve to thirteen hundred pounds was nothing.

"Let’s go." Bai Hao led the way, and the two of them immediately began to wander through the entire villa, quickly traversing every corner, eventually finding Huo Bang, utterly wounded and hidden inside a large wooden barrel.

This fellow was clever, staying hidden and avoiding disaster; otherwise, he would likely have met the same end as Fang Tong and Zhao Zijin.

"Lord Bai." Huo Bang awkwardly climbed out of the barrel, "Sorry, the Fox Demons were too numerous; I couldn’t fend them off, so I had to hide."

Bai Hao encouragingly patted his shoulder, "It’s alright; you’ve done well. When we get back, you’ll have a place in the seven-star monitor."

"Thank you, Lord Bai," Huo Bang quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Let’s go; we need to check the vicinity of the villa now. Leaving here is vital, and if we can’t, everything is futile."

Huo Bang, seeing only Qin Yuesheng and Bai Hao, felt a sudden bad premonition, "Lord Bai, Elder Fang and Miss Zhao?"

"They’ve gone." Bai Hao dropped those four words and left.

Qin Yuesheng tapped Huo Bang’s shoulder and then followed.

...

Just like Qin Yuesheng said, the villa’s surroundings were a ghost wall; you would find yourself back where you started the moment you tried to move through it. After several repetitions, Bai Hao stopped trying.

Instead, he began to chant an unknown song in a language Qin Yuesheng had never heard before.

The song likely had effects similar to those of a righteous anthem, but it didn’t work; the ghost wall remained.

Subsequently, Bai Hao employed various other methods, all ineffective, so everyone sat down near the edge of the villa, trying to think of a way to leave.

Until now, the night still cloaked the sky, a bright moon hung above them, stars sparkling flanking it.

Huo Bang used his axes to chop nearby trees into planks and then used a firestarter to temporarily kindle a fire, bringing some brightness to the dark night.

The three sat around the fire, each roasting Master Huang Si’s meat over flames with carved wooden skewers.

The Fox Demon’s meat was admittedly different, more tender and flavorful than beef, the taste was excellent— even without salt, Qin Yuesheng couldn’t stop eating.

Martial Artists naturally have large appetites, and after a bloody battle earlier, the three soon joined hands to consume half of Master Huang Si’s body.

"Hey! Look quickly!"

Suddenly, while devouring fox meat, Bai Hao paused, pointing skyward, and Qin Yuesheng quickly turned his head to look.

In the sky, the moon swiftly descended to the west, and then a blazing sun rose from the east, finally hanging high, shining on the earth.

The sky turned bright as day once more, and the weather became hot.

Indeed, it was sun rising and moon setting, stars shifting positions!

Qin Yuesheng realized, "Perhaps within this mysterious location, there’s its own space, where the sun and moon’s cycle differs from outside.

We entered during the day, facing no obstacles. But once night fell, we couldn’t leave. With the sun’s return, the villa’s surroundings should revert to normal."

Bai Hao stood up, "Let’s go, take a look."

Each carried what they needed, and the three once again approached the villa’s edge.

This time it was completely different; they smoothly walked out of the villa without the slightest obstruction.

"It seems that’s indeed the case," Bai Hao said.

"Who would’ve thought there’s such a wondrous place in the world; it’s truly breathtaking." Huo Bang sighed as he looked back at the ordinary villa.

Bai Hao said, "Yao creatures generally feed on the solar essence and moonlight and human spirit energy; the internal day-night change is extremely rapid here, yielding far more solar essence and moonlight than outside,

They lure residents to the villa and grow by absorbing solar essence and moonlight,

No wonder I found it strange how Cyan Yang City suddenly had a Fox Demon nest."

Qin Yuesheng inquired, "Lord Bai, now that the Fox Demon has been eliminated, what should we do with this mysterious site?"

"I’ll report this to Chang’an, have them send specialists to manage and guard this place, preventing future yao from entering and turning it into a second Fox Demon nest to harm the townsfolk," Bai Hao responded.

Qin Yuesheng nodded.

"Let’s return to Cyan Yang City first; the follow-up matters here won’t be your concern. I’ll take charge, have Xun Sheng bring soldiers over to burn the Fox Demon corpses, 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The situation in Cyan Yang City has been abnormal recently, with signs of strange visitors; as members of the seven-star monitor, you two must be vigilant and report any anomalies to me at the yamen promptly."

Having said this, Bai Hao directly carried Zhang Wan’Er away.
